Origin

Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ganguro, blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. Yuki Onna, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of Kintarō, a human child raised by the Yama Uba, another possible origin of Jynx.

Name origin

Smoochum is derived from smooch (a kiss). It also may be a combination of smooch and chum (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."

Muchul is a combination of 夢中 muchū (daze or trance) and ちゅう chu (the sound of a kiss).
